About a month ago, I went to a vintage toy store in Canal Fulton, OH called
The Toys Time Forgot. I nearly had a nerdgasm when I walked in there. My wife had went there around Christmastime to buy me some presents (see pics
here) and the only other time I'd been there was probably about 15 or more years ago. I spent way too much time just admiring all of the wonderful collectibles (my wife was waiting in the car) and I finally walked out of there with three Marvel Legends Hulk figures and a bunch of packs of Star Wars and Battle of the Planets trading cards. I dealt with the owner (who is a great guy) and think I got a pretty good deal. They graciously allowed me to take some photos with my cell phone. The one thing I wish I would have photographed was a set of Funny Face mugs with pitcher. If you're ever in NE Ohio, I highly recommend visiting this store.

I don't think I've ever used the word "toygasm" before but it seems appropriate!
Oh my God! I would have died - what great stuff!!!
That is amazing. Why can't I live near this museum...a museum I can buy from.
Kinda looks like my room.
Incredible. It's like all of Akihabara in one store!
